# Nodegrid Serial Console Plus

Nodegrid Serial Console Plus provides fast, secure and reliable InBand and Out-of-Band access to server, network, storage, power and other serial console devices for faster problem resolution. In addition, when coupled with ZPE’s vendor-neutral Nodegrid Manager software, IT staff immediately have centralized access to NSCP devices and all other physical and virtual devices (VM, Service Processor and KVM/IP) managed by the software, providing a truly hyper-converged infrastructure management solution.

Features include:

- Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) over the LAN and WAN
- Modern x86-64bit Linux Kernel
- Failover to 5G/4G/LTE and Wi-Fi
- Gateway and multi-routing table capability
- SSL VPN and Secure Tunnel
- DHCP server
- Built-in firewall
- Selectable encrypted cryptographic protocols and cipher suite levels
